The preview is the window on the right side that gives you the details of what you are crafting.
I had the same problem a while back making slate bricks. I assume it is just lag related. When I relogged I could construct them again.

It seems similar to the problem that would CTD on building, the preview there was a spinning graphic of the building you were working on. The preview in standard crefting is just a text preview of the product details.
